SHIRP: Welcome to SHIRP

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, publishers and vendors have enabled free access to resources previously unavailable. At SHIRP, we are committed to delivering the best available information to provincial health care practitioners during this global emergency.

This guide provides updated resources on COVID-19 with a broad range of information useful to healthcare providers.

SHIRP is a program of the University Library that licenses a sub-set of the University Library's health sciences e-resources for access by Saskatchewan's licensed health care practitioners, post-secondary institution students and employees, and employees of the Ministry of Health and designated health related organizations. 

  This guide compiles resources  on the topic of LGBTQ2+ Health and contains a broad range of information useful to provincial health-care practitioners.

Access to SHIRP resources is free for any licensed health care practitioner in Saskatchewan. 

Offsite access to the SHIRP website is available by requesting a SHIRP User account. License or registration number from a licensing body in the province of Saskatchewan is required. Approval is usually granted within 24 hours.

If you have any questions about how to access SHIRP resources please contact shirp@library.usask.ca
